I remember starting to watch Roswell about 15 years to 20 ago but missed a few episodes being out at night and never got back to it.
Was it worth watching longer ?

Sliders. Have avoided so far watching the seasons that degenerated into the ongoing war storyline.
Cowboy bebop
Neon genesis evangelion
Lexx. Only watched the first 4 episode season and somehow not the rest

Disagree, that style of show really doesn't land these days.

Journeyman was three years after Lost.

I was talking about Quantum Leap.

If they remade Quantum Leap (or anything that's dated/out of style) it'd probably be an action series with a season long story. So many things including non-scifi are just brand recognition.

TV series deliberately made to look like an older show is something we haven't seen much! The movie The Lighthouse did that.

Would have a niche audience.

Stranger Things kind of did it.

Wasn't thinking they would remake Quantum Leap in the same way, with cheesy happy endings. The concept is good enough they could easily do season long arcs.

Yep, was the cheesiness of the original that made it virtually unwatchable for me. But the concept of Quantum Leap for sci-fi show is great if more like a sci-fi show than cheesy social moral of story each episode thing....

Would like to get through The Twilight Zone (1959-1964 episodes anyway). Problem is because it's so old and the stories have been aped since you can work out what the endings are or at least the "people/our minds are the real enemy" gist.
Episode 8 of The Return does it very well in black and white. Gives feel of 1950's horror movie.
Seen add for Lighthouse. Want to see. Willem Dafoe can be a convincing crazy campaigner so if that is his role in it,
will watch...
I might check out the whole series of Twilight Zone from 1950's or 60's.

Would like to get around to The Outer Limits eventually.
Is Outer Limits like Twilight Zone?
Maybe I seen some of it when little kid and get confused which is which.

Believe The Outer Limits is more focused on aliens, monsters and/or horror whereas The Twilight Zone does those but not as much or exclusively.

like you i love time travel stories and it's one of the best. was shot for only $6Kish USD but don't let that fool you, it's big on concept and really digs deep into TT paradoxes. feels legit hard scifi because the writer/producer/actor leveraged his degree in mathematics. it's one of those films you can watch over and over yet still be confused by.

Sliders was one I would like to re-watch. Used to see odd episodes here and there, and then the actors changed I think, or characters changed. Did enjoy the concept though.
I also grew up loving the original Battlestar and Buck Rogers,a although they had a lot to do with Wilma Deering methinks.

Sliders is another show that could benefit from a reboot. I remember being really intrigued by the idea, but the execution left a lot to be desired.
It was good, but should have wrapped up way way sooner. Really should have had one season travelling randomly and a second saving all worlds from the Cromags and at the end getting back to their home.
